Consecration* Sunday is Coming, November 21, 2021

(*To “consecrate” something is to set it aside as holy and special. For instance, when Pastor Charlane speaks the Words of Institution during Holy Communion, she is “consecrating” the bread and wine/juice)

Once again this year we are setting aside some special time to consider our financial giving. Our stewardship philosophy is rooted in the biblical understanding that we need to give for our own spiritual development. Instead of treating people like members of a social club who should pay dues, we will treat people like followers of Jesus Christ who want to give unselfishly as an act of discipleship. You will be encouraged to consider proportionate and systematic giving in response to the question, “What percentage of my income is God calling me to give?” During morning worship on Consecration Sunday, we are asking everyone to make their financial commitments to our church’s missionary, benevolent, and educational ministries in this community and around the world.

Every family who completes an Estimate of Giving card does so voluntarily by attending morning worship on Consecration Sunday. We urge people to attend even if they feel strongly about NOT filling out a card. No one will be forced to do anything contrary to their desire.

Immediately following worship we will celebrate God’s bounty by sharing in a meal together. Everyone who is present on Consecration Sunday is invited to attend the meal. We hope you will plan to join us!

Flowers for the Altar are needed on Nov 21 & 28 & into Dec. Please check the Lay Tasks on-line to sign up. Thank you to all. Susan BF

Looking for used candles- Gail Parn will be making Fireplace Starters again this year and he would like you to donate your used candles to his project. You may leave them in the basket outside the office door. Fireplace starters will be available for sale on Dec 5 and 12 after church.

All Saints’ Sunday
During worship on November 7, Pastor Charlane will read the names of loved ones who have died. If you would like your loved one named, please email her or call the office by November 6. Thank you.

Celebrate Grandparents Sunday on November 14th by bringing your grandchildren to church, volunteering to perform a lay task with a grandchild - or submitting pictures by November 5 to Stacy Hogsett at youth@faithmv.net of you with a grandparent or grandchild. Grandparents at Faith Lutheran are at the heart of faith development in our youth and we look forward to acknowledging the importance grandparents serve in our lives. Not everyone receives the gift of present grandparents, please feel free to include anyone who has grandparented in your invitations to join us in person or in spirit - all are welcome here!

The theme for this year's Homes for the Holidays is “Finding Home Wherever We Are”. Susie Pope will be teaching limited space workshops to make gingerbread nativity scenes on Saturday, November 13. On Sunday Nov. 14th the youth will be holding a bake sale and raffle sale to benefit our feeding ministries. Gingerbread kits and gingerbread to decorate at home will be a part of that sale. To top it all off we are creating a gingerbread window display in the church office window of Bethlehem with the Christ child in the manger. You are invited to create a gingerbread house to fit in with Bethlehem or based on the idea of "finding home wherever you are". There is more information on the website under the youth tab.

Thank you—To the kind person(s) who leave little notes and gifts on my desk each week, I say a heartfelt “Thank you.” ~ Pastor Charlane

Thank you
Hello Everyone,
Thank you so much for helping us (Leona Gardner and her daughter, Trudy) celebrate 90 years. Mom was a little overwhelmed, but in a good way. It was great seeing you all and hearing your birthday wishes. The videos have been watched multiple times already and will be enjoyed many times again as they are a wonderful reminder of family and friends.
Thanks again, Trudy

Thank You!
Much gratitude to all for their healing prayers for my MOHS procedure. They were able to get all the cancer off my nose in two procedures & do an amazing job of patching me up!!! ~Susan Bennett-Freitas
